The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 45
On the same day, news of the battle at Lake Whuyun spread, causing a commotion throughout the entire imperial territory.
Feng Zun's strength once again made him the center of attention.
In comparison, Shen Chuyun's reputation was dealt a crushing blow.
His duel with Feng Zun had yet to happen, but everyone was aware that Feng Zun's battle with those mysterious people, had made an assessment that Shen Chuyun was lagging far behind Feng Zun.
At the same time, the faction known as the Xuanwu Mountain Lin Family attracted widespread attention.
The Radiant Age would arrive in just seven days, when an unknown faction like the Lin Family appeared at this moment, every faction in that world immediately felt a threat!
“I can say with certainty that when the Radiant Age arrives, foreign factions from other worlds equivalent to the Lin Family will come in droves to compete for luck!”
“At last, the balance of world power will undergo a massive overhaul!”
“It remains to be seen who will emerge as the main winner. Who.... who will achieve power over the world after all these ups and downs?”
Discussions are happening all over the world.
The various factions in the world became dormant, they all bided their time and gathered their strength in preparation for the beginning of the Radiant Age.
Deep within the uninhabited mountain wilderness.
The night was as calm as water, without stars or moons.
Lin Xiong sat beside the bonfire, holding a book, which he read under the light of the fire. His handsome and charismatic face looked soft and serene.
His hair was long and thick black, hanging up to his waist. She was wearing a simple robe, unpatterned, wide-sleeved, and she had a pleasant and friendly charm to her.
Like a scholar who had already immersed himself into his studies.
Not far from there, the experts from the Lin Family stood up and sat down, talking amongst their own group. However, they spoke softly, as if afraid of bothering Lin Xiong.
Swoshis!
Suddenly, a silver bird flew across the night sky. When she landed beside the bonfire, she turned into a young girl wearing a silver fur coat.
He looked extremely panicked, but when he saw Lin Xiong was reading, he hesitated, then forced to swallow his words back.
Time pass.
Finally, Lin Xiong closed his book, wriggled, and smiled at the fur-coated woman, “Does the eighth group of elders have any problems?”
The feather-coated young lady lowered her head, not daring to look into Lin Xiong's eyes, “Eighth elder and his friends.
Lin Xiong's smile faded.
He took out a bottle of wine and quietly drank it, then muttered, “He died with a big goal that still has not been achieved, this is really unpleasant. ”.
It was only a few sentences that were light and airy, but the atmosphere instantly became stiff and oppressive.
The group shuddered and trembled, their expressions changing drastically.
Time pass.
The bonfire crackled, its twinkling light shining on Lin Xiong's handsome face.
It was as if the air around him had condensed. The stifled and oppressive atmosphere made the experts of the Lin Family feel suffocated.
After a while, Lin Xiong suddenly laughed and shook his head.
"Calm down! Death is a common thing. No matter how strong we as cultivators are, who among us would dare to declare that we will live forever? I may be angry, but not to the point of losing control.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
“Did Feng Zun kill them?” asked Lin Xiong.
His voice was calm, and his expression was gentle.
The woman in the fur coat nodded, "That's right."
He then explained everything he had learned.
As soon as he heard his full story, Lin Xiong lifted his pitcher, took a sip of his wine, then said, “He is the son of Lin Hua and nephew of Lin Yunlan. Based on seniority, she should be my cousin.”
The group looked at each other, they did not know what Lin Xiong meant.
“It is understandable that Feng Zun will kill the eighth elder and his friends,” said Lin Xiong. “After all, they went to Nine Furnace City to get rid of Feng Zun. The eighth elder and his companions cannot blame anyone but their inadequate abilities.”
Everyone is silent. What Lin Xiong said was of course true, yet they still considered his demeanor horrible.
Lin Xiong took a sip of wine and muttered, “I will naturally take revenge on this, but not now.”
He then looked at the woman in a fur coat, “Tell me about Lin Yunlan.”
The woman took a deep breath and said, “Lin Yunlan originally went to the Tian Clan Realm to bring back Lin Hua. After learning that the Tian Clan Realm had been destroyed, he thought that Lin Hua had died, he finally went to the Luo Mainland. Most likely Lin Yunlan was planning to bring Feng Zun, and was fighting to give him a chance so that he could inherit the Ancestral God Canon in his mother's stead.”
Lin Xiong sighed, “He is so stubborn, most of the experts from the main branch of the Lin Family have died, and of those left, only Lin Yunlan is qualified...
"The others are old, disabled, or weak, no one else has the qualifications. Nonetheless, in his current situation he still dared to crave the Ancestral God Canon? He really overestimated himself.”
The fur-coated woman laughed coldly, “If not for our consideration of the sentiments and rules of the clan, how could Lin Yunlan still live this long?”
As it was known earlier that long ago, a Grand Dao disaster similar to the Dark Ancient Barrier also befell the Blue Lotus Realm. As a result, the Lin Family of Xuanwu Mountain suffered a crushing blow.
The members of the main branch of the family did not hesitate to step forward, in order to be able to fight this crisis and fight for the survival of the entire clan.
But in the end, even though they saved the family from destruction, the main branch suffered heavy casualties.
In the years that followed, the power of the family's main lineage deteriorated further.
Although the Lin Family had recovered some of its vitality, its main branch was still declining.
Instead, the branch family grew stronger by the day.
If there were no ancient Immortal God from the main lineage defending the fortress, the other lineages would have long since been stripped of their positions and hegemony.
But in the end, such an ancient Immortal God main lineage had suffered the corrosive impact of the Grand Dao disaster, and they did not have much time left.
Lin Xiong rubbed his wine jug and laughed, “You must not say that, nor should we forget the main bloodline efforts, either, it was mostly thanks to them that the Lin Family was able to survive the Grand Dao disaster back then. Even if Lin Yunlan refused to be aware of his position, he was still a member of the main bloodline. We can't take action too far.”
He paused for a moment, then added, “But... if disaster befalls him in Luo Mainland, it has nothing to do with us.”.
The eyes of the other Lin Clan members shone.
The meaning behind Lin Xiong's words was very clear!
“Young Master, Lin Yunlan is not a threat, but what should we do against Feng Zun?” ask the woman in the fur coat.
Lin Xiong finished his wine jug, then muttered, “For the Lin Family, there is nothing more taboo than killing a member of his own clan, but fortunately, Feng Zun is not a member of our clan. Moreover, he killed the eighth elder as well as his group, so. he naturally had to die.”.
As he said the word 'dead', his eyes seemed to shine, and a bloodthirsty light appeared in the depths of his gaze.
